Installation was a bit of a faf, but was just a matter of time before I got it on. I pumped up the included tube to 40 psi, thinking the only thing that could flat these would be a pinch flat. On my first ride, I rode some roads known for having goatheads on the side without any issue. I rode up a mountain fireroad and noted that the tire was impressively compliant, despite how much air I put in the tube. It wasn't until I turned around and had to come to a stop due to traffic. I must've stopped hard, as once I started rolling again, I felt the tire had gone flat. The tube was cut at the base of the valve.
